"The name of one high priestess who ruled in 364 A.D., 'Div° Ioriano et Varoniano Consulibus; has been erased, probably, as has been suggested, because she had become a Christian. What was her name is uncertain, but the letter C, the only one that remains, may be the first of Claudia, who, as Suetonius relates, was converted." " Ioriano " must be Ioviano ; where does Suetonius (!) relate the conversion of a vestal, and a vestal, too, of the fourth century P—In "Murray's Handbooks" (Edward Stanford, 14e.) we have the Handbook for Yorkshire, "a fourth edition, remodelled and revised," and fully up, as far as we are able to judge, to the high standard of the series.
